I had actually forgotten about that.

Shows how much time I spend thinking about Oprah!

I did make it a point, when I started seeing books in the stores with "Oprah's Book Club" stickers on them, to never buy one.

I’ve read a few (ignored the book club sticker, just seemed like good books) and they were really good.

One was about a Moroccan family that was imprisoned for years in the desert because the father of the family tried a military coup. He was a general in the King’s army.

Another was a woman who did an ancestry on her family to find out who sold her great great grandmother (she found the deed for her purchase in the county records in Louisiana) and came to discover that the slave owner was black. Now THAT was interesting.
